Proverbs 17
1 Better is a dry morsel, and quietness therewith, than a house full of feasting [with] strife.
Vahe'mo'ma rimpa frune akoheno mani'neno naga'anema osia kave'ma ne'zamo'a, tusi'a ne'zama hafra nehuno kreno ne'zana agatere'ne.
2 A wise servant shall rule over a son that causeth shame, and shall have part in the inheritance among the brethren.
Knare antahi'zane eri'za ne'mo'a, kva'amofo mofavre'mo'ma agaze hu avu'ava'ma hania mofavremofona ugota huno kegava hunte'neno, mofavre'amo'za erisanti haregahaze huzmante'nesafintira erigahie.
3 The fining-pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold; but Jehovah trieth the hearts.
Koline silvanena tevefi kre'za eri agru nehaze. Hianagi Ra Anumzamoke tagu'amofona reheno nege.
4 The evil-doer giveth heed to iniquitous lips; the liar giveth ear to a mischievous tongue.
Kefo avu'ava'ene vahe'mo'a, havigema nehazankea nentahie. Hagi tavre vahe'mo'a, vahe'ma azeri haviza hukema hazanke nentahie.
5 Whoso mocketh a poor [man] reproacheth his Maker; he that is glad at calamity shall not be held innocent.
Amunte omane vahe'ma huhaviza huntesia vahe'mo'a, tro'ma huzmante'nea Ra Anumzamofo huhaviza hunente. Hagi hazenkema erisaza zanku'ma muse hanimo'a, agra'a havi mizana erigahie.
6 Children's children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers.
Nenama hu'za ra avuma omesaza vahe'mokizmia, zamagehe'mo'za kini fetorikna zamanuntera hu'nage'za, ra zamagi vahe'mo'za nezamize. Hagi mofavremo'za zamarera zamafana muse huzmantegahaze.
7 Excellent speech becometh not a vile [man]; how much less do lying lips a noble!
Neginagi vahe'mofontera knare ke'ma hu'zamo'a, haviza hu'neanagi, kva ne'mo'ma havigema hu'zamo'a, havizantfa hu'ne.
8 A gift is a precious stone in the eyes of the possessor: whithersoever it turneth it prospereth.
Mago'mo'ma mago zama erinaku zagoreti'ma maseve'ma amino erisia zamo'a agraragisa kaguvaza huno efore hiankna nehie. Iza'o anazama himo'a maka zampina knare nehie.
9 He that covereth transgression seeketh love; but he that bringeth a matter up again separateth very friends.
Iza'o havizama huntesimofoma kefo zama'a atrentesimo'a, amu'nozanifina avesinte avu'avazamo'a, meno vugahie. Hianagi arone'amofo havi avu'avazama'agu hugantigama hanimo'a, knare knampa'a azeri atanegahie.
10 A reproof entereth more deeply into him that hath understanding than a hundred stripes into a fool.
Kemofoma refko huno antahi ankemare vahe'mofona, magoke zupama azeri fatgo hu kema asamisankeno'a antahigahianagi, neginagi vahe'mofoma azeri fatgo hunaku'ma 100'a zupa knona ami'sanana, avu'avara ruzahera osugahie.
11 An evil [man] seeketh only rebellion; but a cruel messenger shall be sent against him.
Kefo avu'avazane vahe'mo'za, ha'ma erifore hu zankuke zamave'nesiankino, hazenkema zami vahera huntenkeno zamavaririgahie.
12 Let a bear robbed of her whelps meet a man rather than a fool in his folly.
Anenta'ama kumzafama ase'nesaza beama, mago ne'mo'ma kantegama tutagihama hunte'zamo'a knare hu'neanagi, neginagi vahe'mo'za neginagi zamavu'zamava'ma nehaza vahe'enema tragoteno manizana agatere'ne.
13 Whoso rewardeth evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house.
Hagi mago vahe'mo'a knare'zama magamofoma huntesia zanku'ma, nona huno kefozama huntesia vahe'mofona, kefo zamo'a naga'afintira atreno ovutfa hugahie.
14 The beginning of contention is [as] when one letteth out water; therefore leave off strife before it become vehement.
Haframa hu'zamo'ma agafama nehanigeta, koma eri amne osanunkeno'a, ti anagi atregeno ti hageno eankna huno rama'aza eri haviza hugahie.
15 He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the righteous, even they both are abomination to Jehovah.
Kefo avu'ava'ma nehia vaheku'ma fatgo vahere nehu'za, fatgo zmavu'avazama nehaza vaheku'ma, kefo vahere hu'zama nehaza tare zamavu'zmavakura, Ra Anumzamo'a agoteno avesra hunezmante.
16 To what purpose is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom, seeing [he] hath no sense?
Neginagi vahe'mo'za knare antahi'zama rempima hu'za eri zamave'sizama omane'nege'za, na'a hige'za avono huzama mizasesaza zagoa zamazampina eri'naze?
17 The friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.
Mika zupa knampati'mo'za zamavesirantegahaze. Hagi knazampima taza hanagu tafuhe'mokizmia kasezmante'naze.
18 A senseless man striketh hands, becoming surety for his neighbour.
Knare antahi'zazmima omane vahe'mo'za zamagrazmi huvempa hu'za, tava'ozmire nemani'za vahe'mo'za nofi'ma hu'naza zama ovakanesageta, tagrati vakanezmantegahune hu'za nehaze.
19 He loveth transgression that loveth a quarrel; he that maketh high his gate seeketh destruction.
Iza'o ha'frama hu'zankuma avesintemo'a, kumiku ave'nesie. Iza'o agra'a agima erintesgama nehimo'a, hazenke erigahie.
20 He that hath a perverse heart findeth no good; and he that shifteth about with his tongue falleth into evil.
Akrehe akrehe agu'ane ne'mo'a, knare zana hakeno erifore osugahie. Hagi iza'o tavre kema nehanimo'a, hazenkefi ufregahie.
21 He that begetteth a fool [doeth it] to his sorrow, and the father of a vile [man] hath no joy.
Neginagi vahe'mofo nerera nefa'a, tusi'a ataza e'nerie. Higeno nefa rimpamo'a, ana neginagi ne'mofonkura musena osugahie.
22 A joyful heart promoteth healing; but a broken spirit drieth up the bones.
Musema huno mani'zamo'a, tusazamo vahe'ma azeri so'e higeno maniankna nehie. Hianagi vahe'mofo antahi'zamo'ma havizama haniana, havi krimo zaferinafi me'neno azeri haviza hiankna hu'ne.
23 A wicked [man] taketh a gift out of the bosom, to pervert the paths of judgment.
Kema refkohu tratema kefo ne'mo'ma mani'nesuno'a, keagama eri haviza hinogu oku'a masevema huno amisia zagoa e'nerino, keaga eri rukrahe huno fatgo kantera ontahigosie.
24 Wisdom is before him that hath understanding; but the eyes of a fool are in the ends of the earth.
Antahi'zane vahe'mo'a knare antahi'zante avua anteno nevie. Hianagi havi vahe'mofo avumo'a, mopa ataginare ame huno omegege, emegege huno nevie
25 A foolish son is a grief to his father, and bitterness to her that bore him.
Neginagi mofavremo'za nezmafana zamasuzana eri nezamie. Hagi kasema ante'nea zamarerahe'ina, zamarimpa zamata erinezamize.
26 To punish a righteous [man] is not good, nor to strike nobles because of [their] uprightness.
Fatgo hu'nesia vahe'ma knazama zamige, knare huno hazenke'a omane kva vahe'ma kanoma ami'zamo'a, haviza hu'ne.
27 He that hath knowledge spareth his words; and a man of understanding is of a cool spirit.
Knare antahintahima me'nea vahe'mo'a, rama'a keaga osugahie. Hagi ama' antahi'zama me'nenia ne'mo'a, ame huno rimpagna osugahie.
28 Even a fool when he holdeth his peace is reckoned wise, [and] he that shutteth his lips, intelligent.
E'ina hu'negu neginagi vahe'mo'ma kema osuno manisia zankura, vahe'mo'za knare antahi'za eri'ne hugahaze.
